In this second book in the Above World series, Aluna, a Kampii (mermaid) from the ocean and her best friend Hoku, go with their friend Dash, an Equian (centaur)and Calli (bird/person) to the Equian city in the desert to warn the Equians about the evil Karl Strand. They arrive too late, as Strand's clone daughter Scorch is already there controlling their leader with the promise of bringing water to the desert. Aluna and her friends encounter and deal with the prejudice of the Equians who value their bloodlines and who consider Dash, who was bred to be an Equian (centaur) but has only a human body and Tal, also bred to be Equian but having only a horse body as aldagha, or damaged and therefore not as good as the pure Equians. Together, the friends join with the Serpenti (snake people)and fight Scorch and the prejudice that exists among the Equians.
